those special phone calls

Just got off the phone with David. I love it when he calls.  He sounds so, so loveable. I don’t know any other word to describe it.  It makes my heart soar to hear his voice. I confess, I miss him. I don’t miss his behaviors though. Tweet #fighting4answrs

We received a copy of David’s treatment plan today. Work on not stealing. Work on aggressive response. Safety plan – If David has a behavior that is aggressive, this is how they will respond to it.  In order.

We also learned that David has been caught stealing just about everyday that he has been a resident. Tweet #fighting4answrs
